As the basic fund hopefully reaches higher levels and annual yields, the board will consider additional ways to aid exposed groups of children.
A chief aim will be to support projects that are well managed and transparent, cost effective and helpful in a long term perspective.
The overriding objective of the foundation's efforts is to provide a decisive difference between continued, meaningless suffering and a new, meaningful life to a growing number of disadvantaged children, anywhere.
